It would be really good to have some update why those symlinks pointing to nowhere are added by install target.

I think that the original purpose was to make redirection to a place where users can put the extracted firmware files from the driver for other OS. We have not received a permission to distribute those files.

In that case I think that it would be better just do nothing to allow by other compionents install that firmware in /lib/firmware/turtlebeach. BTW from where is possible to download that non-dist firmware?
